Redbourne is a village and civil parish in the North Lincolnshire district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated near the A15 road, and 5 miles (8 km) south from Brigg. According to the 2001 Census it had a population of 386.[citation needed]
The name Redbourne is derived from the Old English Name "Hredburna" meaning "reedy burn", a reference to a stream running through the village.[1]
The parish church of St Andrew was made redundant in 1978 and is now maintained by the Redundant Churches Fund. It is a Grade I listed building. Although the church has 14th- and 15th-century origins, the bulk of the existing building is 18th-century and represents a Georgian Gothic style, using a mixture of squared and coursed rubble limestone with ashlar dressings. Its square tower is approximately 90 feet (27 m) high.[citation needed]
The Red Lion Hotel coaching inn on the village green dates from the 17th century.
A conservation area was designated in August 1985 by the old Humberside County Council and covers the historic village core but excludes the more recent residential developments on the periphery.
